Our Fabric Library
Eight of the world's most renowned mills. One design house in Los Gatos.
Sourced from the Mills We Trust
Every fabric in our studio is there for a reason. We look at how it feels, how it drapes, how it performs, and what kinds of garments it works best for. We work with eight mill partners, each with its own strengths, history, and approach to making cloth.
During your consultation at our Los Gatos atelier, you'll have the chance to go through the books yourself, compare different options, and see what you actually like. We'll help explain the differences and narrow things down based on what you're having made and how you plan to wear it.
Loro Piana
Cashmere & wool blends · 280–320 g/m² · Year-round suiting and special occasion
Loro Piana operates its own mills in Quarona, in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, and controls much of the process from raw fiber sourcing through finished cloth. Their cashmere-wool blends are known for their softness, fluid drape, and the way they move naturally with the body. We often reach for Loro Piana for wedding suits, milestone commissions, and other garments where the fabric itself is an important part of what makes the piece special.
Ermenegildo Zegna
Super 150s–180s wool · 240–300 g/m² · Year-round
The Zegna mills have been weaving suiting cloth in Trivero, in the Italian Biella Alps, since 1910. Their Super 150s and 180s wools combine a very fine feel with enough structure to create a sharp, refined garment. Zegna is a great option for a made-to-measure suit you expect to wear for years, whether it's for work, a major event, or simply an important addition to your wardrobe.
Dormeuil
Super 150s wool · 260–290 g/m² · Suiting · Amadeus collection
Dormeuil was founded in London in 1842 and remains one of the world's most established fabric houses. Their Amadeus collection is a Super 150s wool with a tight, even weave that holds its shape well over long days. We often recommend Dormeuil to founders, CEOs, attorneys, and other professionals who need a custom suit that can handle a full day without looking like it has.
Scabal
Super 120s–130s wool · Year-round · Savile Row collection
Scabal has been producing suiting cloth in Brussels since 1938 and supplies ateliers and design houses around the world. Their Savile Row collection offers a refined wool with enough structure to hold its shape while still being comfortable and easy to travel with. For clients who spend a lot of time moving between cities, Scabal is a strong option for a made-to-measure suit that needs to perform.
Holland & Sherry
Ultra-fine and rare fiber · 180–220 g/m² · Special commission
Holland & Sherry has operated from Savile Row since 1836. Their highest collections use some of the world's rarest fibers, including ultra-fine merino, vicuña, and qiviut, producing fabrics that are remarkably light while still draping beautifully. We tend to reach for Holland & Sherry for special commissions — an anniversary, milestone birthday, or the kind of garment you're buying because you want something truly exceptional. Not simply a suit you wear to work. A suit you hand down.
Piacenza 1733
Heavyweight wool · 350–400 g/m² · Water-resistant · Cold weather and travel
Piacenza 1733 has been producing wool in the foothills of the Italian Alps for nearly three centuries. Their heavier fabrics offer natural resistance to the elements and a rich texture that tends to get better with wear. For colder climates, East Coast winters, or European travel, Piacenza is a good option when you want something with a little more weight and structure.
Fox Brothers
Tropical wool & flannel · 220–260 g/m² · Highly breathable · Spring and summer
Fox Brothers has been weaving cloth in Somerset since 1772. Their tropical wools are designed for warmer weather, giving you the breathability you need without losing the structure that makes a garment look sharp. For a Bay Area summer, Napa event, destination wedding, or warm-weather travel, Fox Brothers is one of our go-to options for a lightweight made-to-measure suit.
Dugdale Bros. & Co.
Heritage Irish linen & tropical wool · 200–250 g/m² · Summer and resort
Dugdale Bros. & Co. has been weaving cloth in Huddersfield since 1896. Their heritage Irish linens have a natural texture that softens with wear and the breathability that makes linen such a good choice for warmer weather. For a summer suit, resort wedding, rehearsal dinner, or relaxed California event, Dugdale linen gives you something that feels appropriate without being overly formal.
From Fabric
to Finished Garment
The fabric is where the process starts. From there, we combine it with precise measurements, thoughtful design, and the craftsmanship of our workshops in Italy and Portugal to create something that feels like it was made specifically for you.
